ODDS AND ENDS.

According to list and classification
published in the Dallas Herald, over
two.thirds of the Texas newspapers are
OutspOken for prohibition. Reagan,
Maxey, Culbers0n, Lapham and Stewart
are in favor Of 1t, also, and they are all
staunch democrats and trusted leaders
The -prohiDitionists will not have
walk-Over the track, but will have to
hump themselves.
There is but little doubt that both iron
and coal exist in immense quantities in
Texas. Some portions of her noun tain
ranges must be ohOck full of them, and
some day they will be discovered. En-
terprise. Miss, has been settled for 60
years, yet only few months past a bed
Of iron, Is feet deep, was discovered in
the bills near it. Why are not the noun
tains In Texas carefully explored by ex-
perts?
II the women should go in for prohi-
bitiOn, as now seems to be likely, they
will work tooth and nail for the cause.
Why does not the United States begin
work on the building for the courthouse
and pOstOfiice in our city? The lease of
the buildings now used as a courthouse
and pOstuffice will expire ere long,
and the new building will not be COM
pleted Is "red tape" responsible for
the delay? Major Sayers should hurry
up the supervising architect. This work
would greatly benefit the workingmen
in San Antonio; indeed, it would benefit
the entire population.
A soaking rain even now would be
worth millions TO west Texas.
In Eastland county the anti's have
bought one column in the county paper
and will use it to fight prohibition. They
acted quite sensibly. BAT.

Almost Robbed.

Benjamin Todd, q cOlored man, who
was asleep In the backyard of the Wash
ington saloon, about daylight this morn
ing, almost became the victim of low
species of robbery. Two oolored women
who were passing, happened to look In,
and as they looked they saw negro,
whom they knew as David Harrison,
STOPPING over Todd with pocket knife.
They watched and saw Harrison trying
to cut the pocket out Of Todd's panta-
looms, and, suspeeting he was bent on
robbing Todd, they called to him. He
jumped up and looked frightened, and
then told them he was only trying to
keep others from stealing from Todd,
he having charged him If ever he
found him drunk, to take all his money
to keep him from being robbed. Officer
Ballou, who happened to be close by, ar
rested Harrison, and the recorder fined
him S25 this morning for the offense Of
being disorderly, Todd and the women
appearing against him, Todd swearing
that he had not authorized him to take
any of his money or care for him when
he was drunk. The sum for which Har-
rison was envious was but 55 cents.

A Snack of Reform" "


When William F. Villas left his two
floor back law Office up in Wisconsin,
and took the postal service Of the coun-
Try in charge, there was very loud and
prolonged cry OF Joy in the mugwump

man young, fresh and vigorous, who
would show the country what a postal
service ought be, es Saml OF POsen says,
"fur de greatest show and de least OK
penTe" The subsequent difficulties OF
the Postmaster General with the Pacific
steamship companies. his refusal to
obey the act of Congress granting sub
sidy, his canal boat mail service with
Cuba, are all relics OF the early days OF
his postal reform before he got his hand

membered by persons who had occasion

service of the postal department was to
be greatly improved by this Boanerges

mOvals in this especially difficult service
we're TO be made exec pit for the greatest
cause and its efficiency was to DO made
more efficient than ever. The result OF
this mans two years tampering with
that service is elOquently portrayed in

Texas Press Association .

WACO, TEXAS, April 25.-By constitu-
tIOnal provision, it is made the duty of
the executive board of the Texas Press
Association to fix the time and place of
the annual meetings of the body. The
place was selected at the last meeting
In San Antonio. As no executive board
has beer appointed, and as we learn the
president of the association, Hon. l.. L.
Foster, has severed his connection with
journalism, therefore we, the under
signed officers of the body, take the re-
spOnsibiity of calling the annual meet
ing OF the association at Fort Worth on
May 81, 1887, at which time and place we
urge a full attendance, as matters of
moment to the press of the state will be
discussed and acted upon. Further ar
Engagements VIII be announced later.
Respectfully, WILLIAM FERGUSON,
First Vice-President.

The Ladies' Turn,

Nearly two hundred ladies OF all ages,
sizes and styles, attended Prof. Fowler's
lecture in Turner hall, for ladies only,
yesterday afternoon. The lecture. which
was essentially of a private nature, was
illustrated by life-sized diagrams and
models and was listened to with marked
interest by all present. At the close of
the lecture, the ladies slipped out in
ones and twos and many seemed scared
to death for fear they should be seen
coming out Of the hall.
Last night Prof. Fowler lectured to
men only. His audience was quite
large. He told the men what they
should and should not do, and handled
the drinking and smoking business
without gloves, maintaining that both
drinking and smoking was very iniuri-
GUS to health.
